CAUTION: All Praxair and TAFA wires have been optimized for arc spraying. Use of alternate wires usually
causes problems such as excessive tip wear, spitting and feeding problems. We only recommend Praxair and
TAFA certified wires.

Note: Standard air caps and positioners can be used in 8835 and 9000 systems.
Using excessive voltage reduces the quality of the coating. Voltage should be adjusted to
give minimum noise and smooth arc operation. Excessive voltage causes larger particles
and poor spray pattern. Too low voltage will cause popping.
Be sure not to overheat the substrate even if this means stopping to allow cooling, use air jet
cooling if greater speed is required. Note that on some applications where preheating is
tolerable, preheat work to 300o F can improve bond and deposit efficiency.

Hazards:
Observe normal spraying practices, respiratory protection and proper airflow patterns
advised. For general spray practices, see AWS Publications AWS C2.1-73, "Recommended
Safe Practices for Thermal Spraying" and AWS TSS-85, "Thermal Spraying, Practice,
Theory and Application." Thermal spraying is a completely safe process when performed in
accordance with proper safety measures. Become familiar with local safety regulations
before starting spray operations. DO NOT operate your spraying equipment or use the
spray material supplied before you have thoroughly read the Praxair and TAFA Instruction
Manual.
A Material Safety Data Sheet will be sent with each initial purchase and updated as
required.
DISREGARDING THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
